Day 3 — I got liquidated: the ETH long got wiped

Got liquidated. The ETH long I was holding got wiped overnight, and the exact price and time are sitting right there on the wallet if you want to check. Nothing hidden, that's the whole point of doing this in the open. The position cost me about $1,316 and the account dropped to around $655 at the low.

So I put a small refill back in, $380, and opened a new ETH long: 23.9 ETH around $1,535 entry, 25x. It's up about $414 right now, but the liquidation price is only about 2% under the market, so there's no breathing room. The account sits at $1,435. Counting everything I've put in, the overall P&L is down about $945 since day one, refill included. I don't reset the scoreboard after a bad day.

The rule doesn't change: I never start with more than $2,000 of my own money. This is high risk on purpose. I'm testing different strategies out in the open, and sometimes one goes bust. When that happens I take the hit, maybe top up a little to keep testing, and keep going. Still aiming at $200K.
